‘Declare overseas income or face taxman’

Declare your income: Malaysians who had not declared or under-declared their incomes are advised to meet IRB officers on this.

MALAYSIANS who fail to declare their incomes from overseas sources may face “unfriendly” reception from the taxman, warns Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Amiruddin Hamzah.

“If they do not come forward to declare their overseas income under the Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP), then they may likely face a not-so-friendly welcome from the tax authorities,” he said when replying to a supplementary question by Wong Kah Woh (PH-Ipoh Timur).
